Pediatric Growth and Integrated Nutrition (GAINS)

The Growth and Integrated Nutrition Service at Swedish, known as GAINSTM, is a multidisciplinary program, which includes doctors, nurses, dietitians, behavioral specialists, and feeding therapists. If your baby or child under the age of six has problems with feeding or weight gain, we can help you and your pediatrician by doing a full assessment and providing specific recommendations.

Feeding Tube Weaning Program

At the GAINS Feeding Tube Weaning Program, our goal is to improve the feeding experience for children who eat with feeding tubes. We believe eating should be a pleasurable part of every child's life. Depending on your child, success may include removal of the feeding tube and complete independence, or a combined oral and tube-feeding plan. We can help you find the best combination to support your child's growth and feeding enjoyment.
